150 miles, my butt! Get an engineering degree. That thing coudn’t go more than 60 miles or so...and to do that you had to have no A/C, no nuttin! GM junked the cars because they were junk. Given GM’s present state, methinks all the true engineers have bolted, leaving only the MBAs that got GM in to it’s present mess.

Exactly right. Li-ion batteries would cost $70,000 (figure 70 cents a mile amortization) to power this thing. Volt is also dead before it starts. No battery technology makes anything bigger or faster than a golf cart practical.

Lutz is supposed to be their car guy, but he sounds like their accountant.
